Inspired by the popular online game that asks people to choose one movie from a group of four, One Choice… is pretty much the same game. Readers will be given four similar movies and asked to choose one. Now here’s the catch, the other three movies will be gone forever, wiped from your brain as if they never existed. Are you ready to theoretically live in a world where you have The Empire Strikes Back but not Star Wars or Return of the Jedi? What about the 1989 Batman movie but not Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight? The choice is yours, screenager, so choose wisely.
Merry Christmas! Throughout December we’re going to have some festive holiday-themed One Choices. First up, Christmas rom-coms!
Here are the 4 Movies:
Love Actually (2003)

Just Friends (2005)
Cast: Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, and Anna Faris

The Holiday (2006)
Cast: Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jude Law

Happiest Season (2020)
